Hearing is believing?........power cables.......


For anyone who is skeptical about the difference a high quality power cord can make in your high quality audio system........try it.......hearing is believing. About 10 years ago when I bought my first "entry level" hifi system (B&K amp/preamp, Canton speakers) my audio advisor dropped off a Tara Labs Prism power cord. He said just try it for a week and if you don't think it makes a difference just return it. I, like most unfamiliar with high quality cables, was skeptical.......how could a cable 1 meter long from the wall to my equipment make a difference? I put it on the power amp and yes I could definitely tell there was a more defined bass and overall clearer soundscape. I'm a musicians, so I figured maybe the "non audiophile" can't hear the difference. So my brother-in-law who is a bricklayer came over and we did a blind listening test. I randomly switched the Tara, sometimes trying to fool him......told him I switched but didn't........he could tell every time I used the Tara! So I was convinced that it was "wishful thinking on my part or particularly sensitive ears. If you don't think a great power cable can make a difference........take the challenge. Try one for a week and see (hear) for yourself!

that's because they are just engineers with a technical education and years of experience in the field

- no way that can compute with the superior emotional snake oil of the audiofool elite
I attacked no one personally, an observational comment .

I asked an Admiral once, Chief of Naval Aviation, why they  haunted the  top engineering universities for pilot recruits .
 He replied that engineers were perfect for the job, they had the smarts for  it but lacked the imagination to image themselves plowing  into rear of flight deck on night landings .

I knew him well and he had had a few so I think he was telling the truth as he saw it .
 
I didn't attack anyone.
I just passed on a compliment.
To equate what I did with a right wing tactic is just a strawman argument: a red herring to what I actually did, which was to address the point that a good PC does make a difference.

All the best,

Ya it makes a difference. It triggers expectation bias and lightens your wallet.  It doesn't however make the gear sound any different.
